RALPH DESLAURIERS - 340 SPEAR STREET
MISCELLANEOUS APPLICATION #MS-06-07
FINDINGS OF FACT AND DECISION
Ralph Deslauriers, hereinafter referred to as the applicant, is seeking to amend a
building previously approved as part of a planned unit development consisting of (1) 32-
unit multi -family dwelling. The amendment consists of altering the roof pitch, 340 Spear
Street. The Development Review Board held a public hearing on September 19, 2006.
Michelle Dufresne and Skip McClellan represented the applicant.
Based on testimony provided at the above mentioned public hearing and the plans and
supporting materials contained in the document file for this application, the Development
Review Board finds, concludes, and decides the following:
FINDINGS OF FACT
1. The applicant is seeking to amend a building previously approved as part of a
planned unit development consisting of (1) 32-unit multi -family dwelling. The
amendment consists of altering the roof pitch, 340 Spear Street.
2. The owner of record of the subject property is Cupola Golf Course, Inc.
3. The subject property is located in the Residential 12 Zoning District.
4. The plans submitted consist of a three (3) page set of plans, page one (1)
entitled, "Quarry Hill — Phase I QHC Lot #2 South Burlington, Vermont", prepared
by Innovative Design, Inc.
5. The applicant is proposing to adjust the roof pitch from a flat, mansard style roof
to a pitched roof. Because the height of a pitched roof is measured not to the top
of the roof, but rather the midpoint between the top and the eaves, the applicant
has stated that the building will reach an elevation several feet higher than the
existing plan. However, the building will continue to respect the height waiver of
16'2" and building height of 56'2" granted as part of the final plat approval on July
6, 2004.
6. The applicant has provided scaled drawings and sketches which superimpose
the building against the sight line of abutting properties. Given the steep grading
in the area, the proposed building will continue to be below the view of most
abutting properties. This will not impair any important scenic views from any
public rights -of -way.
7. The applicant is also making minor alterations to the fagade. There are no issues
with this change.

8. This is a minor miscellaneous application and results in no change to setbacks,
coverages, or other dimensional requirements that would create non-compliance
as regulated in the South Burlington Land Development Regulations.
